ROASTED SEA BASS WITH GARLIC & CHILLI BUTTER
Method
1
Preheat your oven to 190C/ 170C fan/gas mark 5.
2
Wash the sea bass inside and out and pat dry with kitchen paper.
3
Make about 3-4 slashes across the flesh of the fish, ensuring you do not cut to the bone.
4
Prepare the roasting tray by rubbing a thin coating of the butter all over the surface of the tray.
5
Put the remaining Lurpak® butter in a bowl and mix in the chilli and garlic until soft and well combined.
6
Spoon the butter mix into the fish cavities and place the lemon slices and the thyme on top of the butter.
7
Lay the sea bass on the buttered tray and roast for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of fish − the flesh should feel firm to touch.
8
Remove from oven and leave to rest for 5 mins before serving. Season and serve with crushed new potatoes and green beans.
